The Problem
• Inactive teens tend to feel more depressed, frustrated and are more likely to drop out.
• Overweight teens often grow into overweight adults with a higher risk of heart disease.
• Teens spend about 30 hours a week in front of a TV while eating high-fat snacks.
A Youth Risk Behavior Study found that obesity in school students is of particular concern. The survey indicated that among high school students, 13% are obese and several behaviors reported put them at risk for being overweight: low consumption of fruits and vegetables, and low levels of physical activity while 1/3 drank soda at least daily and watched TV for 3 or more hours daily with an additional 3 hours of video or computer time. The survey also reported that overweight/obesity of children 2 to 5 years by ethnicity. Native American young children have the highest rate of overweight/obesity at 43.9% followed by Hispanic children at 35.6, Asian/Pacific Islander at 32.9%, followed by white at 26.7% and African American at 23.5%.
